Is war with Iran part of Trump's re-election strategy ?

If that is on his 'game' plan then who's going to stop him ?

@softspokenman Congress, hopefully. We can destroy Iran, as in wipe it off the map, but then there are some consequences, like us getting wiped off the map.

Other than that, we are not capable of winning a war of occupation against Iran, and a war to change regimes, will only make those who like us, turn against us. Change over there, must come from within, but the neocons Trump said we elected him to get rid of, are running the show.
He doesn't care what Congress does, obviously, and he has already turned his back on our allies. He's trying to stop China from buying oil from Iran by increasing tariffs and he has lowered restrictions on off-shore drilling. He doesn't believe in alternative energy "Darling is the wind blowing? I want to watch TV?", "Wind generators cause brain cancer." Anyone that tries to stop him is labeled a traitor and not a Patriot.

@softspokenman The military is not going to obey an unlawful order. That's one thing I still trust. We did lose some protections, with Mad Dog and Tillerson's departures, but I believe the Joint Chiefs of Staff will not go for it, without a lawful authorization from Congress.
He doesn't have to declare war.@Northwest

@softspokenman What I's saying is that the Joint Chiefs, can refuse to engage, unless we're really under attack, citing the War Powers Resolution. That's what I rely on, not Trump's "good judgment".
He has already said that he is 'smarter than all the Generals' and if the Joint Chiefs defy him he will declare it a Military Coup, "Everyone is being mean and unfair and trying to make him look bad."

@softspokenman Yeah, he said that, and I'm sure the Generals laughed it off. I keep clinging to the hope, as demonstrated by the Mueller report, that some of the underlings, will not obey orders. Of course he can claim that they never disobey him, but they testified, under oath that they did, and he's too ADHD, dumb, or both, to realize it.

In the words of Rex Tillerson, he's a fucking moron.
